what do the towelettes cause your body to smell like?

There is a typical self-tanner smell from these towels. DHA - the simple sugar that causes the "tanning" of the skin releases this odor when it reacts with the skin and will be present after using any self tanner containing it. The level of smell is related to the amount of DHA in the product and to the level of coloring that occurs on the skin - an unfortunate side effect of the process. I found these towels create a natural but noticable color without an overpowering smell which only lasts until you shower. Not a bad trade off.

gees, sorry! I guess you may have a problem BUT, there are several different variations. Maybe you could try one of those. I think the smell is delicious and I can acyually smell it on my towel for a while after showering :)

Mine also smelled horrible. I didn't wash them, but left them to air out. It took about a month before they didn't stink.

The wipes have a citrus scent to them. I never really noticed until you asked. I think they are one of the best wipes out on the market.

There were directions? Sorry, I just put the clothes, or blankets/towels in the bags and used a vacuum to seal them off. The smell wasn't 'musty', but smelled of the plastic chemical. They did wash out with only one washing in the washing machine, but inconvenient to have to wash perfectly clean clothes. And an FYI. I use these while traveling since I have a small car and need the space. I find if the bags are deflated and left in one place, they do better than if you have to move them around. Seems they do not do well with much moving around. Only the slightest micro tear will cause this to be null and void for why you bought it. There were directions?

there is no odor that I have noticed. They do make a little noise when you have them in your dryer, but your sheets and towels come out great. Plus they are really cute.

yes, I was not able to get rid of the odor even after several washes so I threw them away. They made my hair smell like rubber.

I'm sensitive to most organic cotton and can't wear it if there's a smell. There was only a 'line dry' smell to it (I think it was line dried, literally), which I am sensitive to, but after sticking between a hand towel w/ a little of my detergent and water for a day, then doing it w/ plain water the next day, I had no problem and have been using it for 5 months now. :)

They are friction, and mine creates a really nasty burning smell. Its enough to about make me sick indoors.

I am not a Dr but it is my opinion that the answer to your question is, yes. However, I would not buy these ones as over half of the towelettes were completely dried out when I opened the packages.

To me it smells like urine. Not kidding. I use it near by trash can and so far (a week or two) so good.

It's your fabric softner. When you wash your clothes next time, add 1/2 cup of vinegar in place of liquid fabric softner. You might have to do this a few times. I had this problem mostly with bathroom towels because I love them soft and fluffy, but the problem was too much of a build up on them. The vinegar will also wash your washer of any buildup. Good luck!

it depends on how much you put on. Yes the smell remains, I had people move away from me in public even after a shower. And if it gets on your clothes cause of sweat it gets into the clothes. It took me three washes to get it out.

not these ones, i think these are like the baby wipes, but i did buy little packs with individual ones, i think like this Off! Deep Woods Insect Repellant Towelettes-12 ct.

Premoistened, alcohol-free towelettes or wipes or moistened cotton balls may be a good alternative for cleaning that body.

no not that am aware of... however if if they do you can wash it on hot and add 1 cup of vinegar to instead of detergent and when the washer is done with its cycle then restart the washer and run it on hot again except add 1/2 cup of baking soda (again instead of detergent) and when the cycle is complete dry it and it should smell better... And don't use liquid or powder fabric softener with these towels... or really any expensive towels

Yes they really smell. It does diminish with time, but I don't know if it completely goes away. Only had my cart for a couple of months. but I like it a lot!
